The Shark Stratos IZ862H is the best Dyson alternative on the market. Clean Sense IQ detects dirt you have missed and automatically increases suction. The odor neutralizer technology is a genuine innovation — a cartridge that releases a fresh scent while vacuuming, eliminating pet smells from the exhaust air. The Flexology wand bends to reach under furniture without crouching. At $449, it delivers 90% of the Dyson experience at 60% of the price.
